Review
`I fell in love with Hymie Goldman within the first few pages. His story is funny, exciting and touching...' --David Suchet OBE

Review
'Electrician turned Defective Detective I look forward to many more. A laugh a minute, farcical story and a great read.'

Review
'a lively romp with characters easy to warm to. A great giggle, without malice, that leaves a pleasant aftertaste...'

Customer Reviews

Funny, exciting and touching all at the same time
David Suchet's cover review sums it up perfectly. This is the story of a couple of ne'er do wells who inadvertently become detectives and how they overcome the trials and tribulations of a challenging case in an increasingly hostile world. The story is pure farce, the characters are larger than life and the plot unfolds at breakneck speed with more laughs than most other comic fiction. Well worth a read. Recommended.

Side Splitting Stuff
Its a long time since a book made me laugh out loud , but I'm afraid I embarassed myself on more than one occasion by doing just this in a public place whilst reading this gripping and funny book

Hillariously entertaining
Fell in love with this book at once. Cheered me up no end, found myself completely at home among the quirky North London characters and West Country settings. Absolutely fabulous, a definite must read!!
